What Makes Us Different.

Efficiency Commissioning LLC is an engineering firm focused on building commissioning. Our goal is for our client's buildings to achieve and maintain optimum performance levels. 

Hands-on approach

We take a hands-on approach to commissioning. While most firms provide solely a witness-only (hands-off) approach, our Commissioning Providers can take the lead and perform the majority of functional testing on their own – with minimal assistance from the contractors and facility staff. 

Efficiency Commissioning LLC’s Commissioning Providers have an extensive background in building systems and controls, with experience working with many of the major building automation systems (BAS). As long as our Commissioning Providers have the proper BAS access and the Owner approves, we can complete most of the functional testing on our own. When problems arise, we contact the contractor and develop a plan to correct the problem as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
​
However, when deemed more efficient or if the Owner prefers a witness-based approach, some specialty systems can be tested alongside the contractor.

How does our hands-on approach benefit the Owner?

Taking a hands-on commissioning approach typically leads to cost-savings, as the contractors don’t need to spend as much time testing alongside the commissioning provider.
​
It can also help the project’s schedule and provide a faster turnaround, as there is often less coordination involved and contractors are not needed for all functional testing. It lets contractors continue working on their final designated tasks instead of being called away to help on every single functional test.

Owner experience

Efficiency Commissioning LLC staff have extensive experience as building owners – something not shared by most commissioning firms. Our staff have been in our clients’ position. We, as an Owner, have experienced finishing a project, discovering issues afterward, and having to fix them. Efficiency Commissioning LLC was created to help Owners avoid these issues – using our background as a backdrop to help deliver a building that performs as designed. 

“As an Owner, I’ve witnessed firsthand the immense value of commissioning.”

- Javier Navar Payan, CEO of Efficiency Commissioning LLC

Why we do it

Today, companies face a difficult challenge – balancing the desire to focus on green energy and the realization of their bottom-line and return on investment. That is where Efficiency Commissioning LLC comes in. We work hard to keep your operating costs low while spending more time in your buildings.

Our mission is to help optimize your facilities and increase efficiency while keeping more money in your pocket and implementing high return on investment energy conservation opportunities. 
​

In our previous projects, we’ve seen that building commissioning not only can ensure the building meets expectations, but can optimize the systems to an even higher standard. Commissioning efforts have a high return on investment, which you could see within the first year. Whether it is commissioning a new building, recommissioning/retro-commissioning an existing building, or optimizing an existing building, the savings earned will more than pay for the commissioning costs.
​
Ultimately, we want to help a company’s bottom line while also lessening their carbon footprint. Even the smallest adjustment can make a huge difference in energy bills. Let us help you to make your buildings as efficient as possible – it is what we do, and we are good at it.
